IANA time zones in Japan
Japan maps to the following IANA time-zone database entries. Open any zone for its current time, UTC offset, daylight-saving rules and the cities and countries that use it.
- Asia/Tokyo JST · UTC+09:00

Does Japan have multiple time zones?
Yes. Japan uses more than one IANA time zone, so the current local time can differ by city or region. For scheduling, compare the exact city on the world cities list or use the time zone converter.

| Japan | UTC+09:00 |
Why this matters
A country name is a broad signal. City and IANA pages give Google and users the exact time entity: place, time-zone rule set, UTC offset, and daylight-saving context.
